[nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR 1gb kit problem

I recently changed my memory from two Kingmax 256mb memory modules to a Geil 1gb kit. I was surpwised to find out that my system wasn't stable anymore. It restarted after only a few minutes of playing NFS Most Wanted. I tried running Memtest86 and it found lots of errors. Same was with Prime95's torture test witch stopped after less than a minute. I blamed the memory modules cause my previos modules worked flawlessly in both tests. First i tried leaving on just one of the two geil memory modules. It worked just fine. I tried the other module and it worked also. But together it dosn't work even if i put them in sigle channel mode (first and second slot). I went and tried the kit in another dual channel machine. Tested with Memtest86 -- ok. I thought it was some kind of incompatibility between the board and the Geil memory modules so i tried another two 1gb memory kits (one from Gskill - 2 3 3 6 and one from Twinmos 2.5 3 3 8). They all gave me the same kind of errors in test #5 of Memtest86 exactly at the same time (when reaching 95% of the test). I'm beginning to think that the board doesn't support more than 512mb of ram even if the manual says 3gb max.
        Can you help me, please?

Do you know of any problems I can get by running this high VDIMM for a long period of time? I woudn't whant to burn my kit for I intend to keep it when I upgrade my system. That will be when I can get a Athlon64 X2 and mobo (MSI or DFI Nforce4) at a resonable price (this means next year probably).
no.. you are nothink about worry.. its 100% safe. this memory can handle 3.1Vcore...(still working wihout any problems,got a 4 machines with same memory at 3.1V running at 24/7 for 4 mouths) without special cooling..
2.8V is nothink for that memory   im glad that my BIOS solve your memory problem. and "CPU upgraide for free" : wrote: "I definently have your bios loaded but instead of 32 bit cpu XP3000 I have shown 64 bit 3000. Cheap upgrade!" 2hits with one

    Hi there,
    My network was working fine yesterday but now whenever I plug a cable into the onboard network card, my computer starts having these strange flucuations...Every few seconds the CPU usage jumps from 0% to about 50% which causes the system to freeze for a second, making it a real pain to do anything.
    Does anyone have any idea whats causing this?
    Thanks,

    for some reason msi have not removed kingston from their supported list.

Further, I'd like to buy another 512 M stick and honestly it seems more sensible to me to mount two equal sticks. And I feel somewhat stuck...
    a memory can be incompatible but still work.
    alot of people buy any memory they can and throw in and it may work.
    but it can start crashing after installing some program or updating bios or drivers.
    thats the reason i posted the memtest program.
    worry about a crash....no reason for that as you self said memtest reported no errors prime95 no errors and doom3 worked good.
    kingston uses many different chips on their memory and its those chips that is the problem.
    one guy found out that on the specific memory he bought kingston used 3 different chips on.
    only 1 of them worked good on k7n2.
    so a 33% chans of success in getting a good module is considered bad.
    so write down the numbers on the chips and take it with you to the store and compare it to the memories they got.

    i tried it with a good psu today no way it doenst post
    i also updated the mobos bios with modded bios version which i found in this forum
    i tried with asus and sapphire 9550 cards and no boot again
    but it boots with radeon 9000
    i also tried a cooler master psu with 18A 12v rail but nope
    it does not post with any radeon 9550 cards
    i removed all psu connections to hdd dvd ect and  only let mobos connection
    no boot again
    in the bios agp voltages seems to be shift between 1.5 1.6 and 1.7
    no 0.8 for agp 8x
    might it be a problem?

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR? is my computer specs outta date as today? or should I build a..

    IS MY COMPUTER OUT OF DATE?(MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR) (hint: look at my signature),  and if it is can someone make me a good list of things to get to make a new GOOD custom computer? motherboard etc,,, for a gaming pc under 500 US dollars?

    Outdated for what? What pushes you for an update? Your system will work fine for most things for a couple of years still. I'd remove that extra 128 MB stick though.
    The newest games is relying heavily on the graphics card. I don't know that processor, but that will cope with today's games for sure.

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta-ILSR ...did i kill my motherboard??????

    ok i have K7N2 Delta-ILSR and i moving my computer from my bedroom to my basment because of construction and when i went to plug my computer into my apc powerbar the plug didnt go all the way in the socket and then a flash of electricty, when seeing this i wasn't sure what to think so i went ahead and pluged it into the powerbar socket next to it, then when i hit power button on my computer it gets power but wont post and the D-Bracket that came with my board that has diagnostic LEDs is saying " Memory Detection Test " i tried changing my stick of ram(Samsung PC3200 512mb DDR400) from all the slots and the same results then i tried a stick of corsair ram and the same results. I also tried clearing cmos, and having my settings on safe mode.

    Do you have a different power supply you can test?
    You did unplug the power supply before clearing the CMOS right?
    Have you checked the stickies? Especially this one? https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=64248.0

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta ILSR - Do i have to have raid with sata drive

    Hi guys,
    Probably a really stupid question, but here goes
    My machine has 1 ide HDD and 1 SATA HDD.
    The SATA drive is set up as raid0 and is purely used as a data disk. The OS(win xp pro sp1) is on the IDE drive
    The only way i could get the SATA HDD recognised by windows, was to set up a raid array with just the 1 disk.
    Pretty useless raid array i know.
    Did i have to do this or is there a way to have the sata hdd usable without having to set up a raid array
    Thanks

  • K7n2 Delta ILSR - DVD writer problem

    Hi
    My system is a AMD athlon 2600, 1Gb Crucial DDR 400 RAM, Tyan tacheon 9600 pro and a pioneer A106 DVD writer.
    I have connected IDE1 to the hard drive and IDE 2 to the Pioneer DVD writer.
    When
    i) IDE 2 (DVD) is NOT connected  the system boots up very quickly.
    ii) IDE 2 is connected , the sytems start up time is a lot slower.
    The DVD writer works then intermittently and sometimes doesnt even respond in explorer.
    Anyone got any ideas on why this is?
    Thanks

  • [nForce] K7N2 Delta -ILSR Fan that read "MSI AGP 8x" broke.

    My fan had made some noises throughout the week but it seemed when i turned the computer off and then back on it would stop I checked inside and it was working perfectly today it made a outrageously loud noise like it was about to blow up and sure enough it stopped working.  If your not sure which fan it was, it was the fan located on the motherboard directly that was the smaller one with a purple label and words that were outlined in silver reading "MSI AGP 8X."  Any help will be appreciated!    Should I get a new motherboard?  Is their away I can fix the fan?  Can I buy a new fan?

  • [nForce] K7N2 delta ILSR sensors settings

    hi i installed speedfan and i was surprised how many sensors are activated on this board. i have 8 active temperature sensors. and my question: what means all this temperatures? in program there´s only chip name. can anybody help me? thank you

    Hi!
    Usually there is only two temp. sensors on a motherboard. One is for the CPU, and is integrated into it. The other is for the northbridge. BIOS can report voltages also, and some programs read that too. Some cases/cabinets also have separate sensors.
    Why not tell us the list.

  • Nforce K7N2 delta-ILSR

    What does the AGP clock Value do if I increase it above normal 66?
    Sorry if this sound stupid but I'm not under standing how it works  

    and it will not increase the speed as your gfx card is agp8 and motherboard is agp8 capable too.
    if it was agp2 or agp4 it could give alittle.

  • K7N2 Delta-ILSR BSOD

    Hi
    MSI Nforce K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    Bios V1016
    Antec True380SPGB True Power 380w
    AMD Athlon XP2800+
    2x512mb Crucial DDR
    1xSATA HDD
    Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4200
    I've installed 1 SATA onto the onboard Raid controller, but I keep getting BSOD when either playing a game or watching avi's.  The 0x00000000 message is disappearing too quickly to right down but is saying windows was shut down to prevent damage to the hardware.
    Will the K7N2 Delta-ILSR Promise controller work with just one SATA hdd connected, I know that the silicon image controller on my Asus A7N8X-E will support just one SATA connected but will the promise chipset.
    I've updated all the drivers but the dreaded BSOD keeps happening.
    If it won't it not's a major problem as I do have a PCI sata controller card I can install.
    Or are there any issues with the above graphics card and the MSI mobo?
    Thanks for any help.

    Yep I've created a array with the single SATA and got Windows installed.
    I've also changed the memory settings so they are now 1:1 with the FSB.
    I've also altered the advance settings so I'll be able to write down the full 0X00000000 string.
    Just set net access up via my PC and got this error report from M$

  • MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (MS-6570) BSOD problems grrr

    I recently purchased this board and although it is an awesome product, I'm having a problem with BSOD's when I play a game for a certain period of time
    Specs:
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR  (7.6 BIOS)
    AMD Athlon XP 2800+ Barton
    512MB (2x256MB) Samsung PC-2700 DDR memory (2.5-3-3-6 1T)
    MSI 128MB GeForce4 Ti 4200 (4X AGP)
    NVIDIA nForce on-board sound
    Western Digital 80GB drive w/ 8MB cache
    MSI X48 CD/CD-RW/DVD combo drive
    Windows XP Professional SP1
    PSU:
    Turbolink 420watt (came with case)
    +3.3V is 28A
    +5V is 40A
    +12V is 18A
    So what happens is I get a STOP error during the game that shows the kmixer.sys driver as the culprit. Sometimes it's accompanied by PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA too. I read somewhere that kmixer.sys has to do with windows audio and that it's a 3rd party driver issue or a memory issue. I'm using the latest NVIDIA 3.13 nForce platform drivers. I ran Memtest lastnight for 12 hours straight and 0 errors. I'm thinking the memory may not be compatible with the board nor dual channel, is this possible? I have also tried several different drivers for both video and chipset including MSI's own and I still get the kmixer.sys BSOD when playing games. My previous motherboard was an MSI KT3 Ultra2-R (MS-6380E) which I had no issues with. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
    --Update--
    I just tried to play a game with audio disabled and it crashed this time with DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with nv4_mini.sys as the problem. My IRQ table shows some sharing, but device manager shows no conflicts.

    Ok I tried running the DTM-CB3 module which is nForce2 approved at 3-4-4-11 2T timings and experienced the same result even at 2.6 and 2.7v. I tried both in dual-channel and same thing happened. However, I downloaded a program called Prime95 and ran the CPU torture test and the system returned a fatal error within the first few minutes. CPU Temp was at 57 C and the warning beep (set to 60C though) sounded intermittentley which is strange. I let it cool down then ran the torture test again and about 5min. later the system either seized completely or the program crashed. IE has also crashed randomly on me. I did this several times, before trying a different FSB/DRAM ratio. So I left the system at 200 FSB and used a 6:5 ratio so my memory was running at DDR333 and processor was a 3200+. I ran Prime95 again and the system locked up just as it did the other times.  So after I did this a few times with consistent results. I went back and set the FSB to 166 and tried a 5:6 ratio so the memory was DDR400 and processor was the normal 2800+. I ran it again and to my suprise it passed all the tests and after an hour of this, I tried a game and that was perfectly fine as well. I checked the temps and CPU was only 45 C this time. So I'm thinking the processor can't handle anything above 50C or it's just plain overheating. I ordered a Thermaltake Silent Boost HSF today which is tested up to 3400+ so this should fix my problem. If not, then I'm going to replace the memory with a 512MB Geil PC3200 golden dragon dual-channel kit.

  • Msi k7n2 delta ilsr problem

    hi i have this configuration on my pc:
    antec true control 550 watts

    athlon xp 3200+
    seagate 120 gb sata 7200.7 hd
    ati radeon 9800 pro excalibur ice q
    i have 2 problems : the first one is that sometimes windows display me a blue screen with certain problem related to ati2dg.dll i think that problem is beacause the video card so i decided to update the bios , in the live update page from msi says that the bios 7.6 fix a bug with ati vga cards but after flashing and updating to bios v7.6 that blue screen with the same error still appearing so i dont know what else to do to solve the problem and the second one is that when i start any game or make the processor to work a little mostly related with video stuff the case speaker start to beep and the pc lags until he restarts with no reason i really dont know why if u can help me thank you

    Foxtrotccs,
    In the BIOS try setting the AGP to 4X and disable Sidebanding. Then set the AGP Apeture to 256. See if that helps.
    Make sure you are running the lastest   nVidia nForce Drivers and the latest ATI Catalyst Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. There is still a possibility that the Kingston RAM is the problem.

  • Possible K7N2 Delta-ILSR Problem?

    Hi all.
    I'm after some advice, if I may be so bold.
    As you can see from my sig, i'm running a k7n2 Delta ilsr mobo with a 333MHZ Athlon XP3000+, which is being correctly reported.
    I've got 2x 512Mb DDR400 modules in slots 1 & 2.
    A powercolor Radeon 9600 Pro 256Mb in the AGP slot.
    My problem is this :
    When playing a game (IE BF1942, Tiger Woods 2004, NFS Underground), the game will play fine for the first few minutes, then will either exit to the desktop or reboot the machine.
    I've updated all the drivers I can think of (Latest NVidia nforce drivers, latest ATI catalyst, latest mobo bios)
    I've done a burn in test in SiSoft Sandra, which doesnt reveal anything out of the ordinary.
    Now i'm stumped.
    Any1 got any ideas where I can go from here?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    List Power supply amp ratings from sticker on its side for 3.3 volt, 5 volt and 12 volt. mim is 3.3 24 amps, 5 30 amps and 12 16 amps these or mim more is better.
    Download and run memtest86 http://www.memtest86.com/
    Lower memory timings, if Traz 6 3 3 2.5 try 7 3 3 2.5 or 8 4 4 2.5 or lower cas to 3 if 2.5.
    Check IRQ should have 22 if not reload XP with APIC enabled in bios and PNP disabled. PNP is a hold over from 95, PC2001 APIC Standard works much better with XP/2000.
    Even if ram shows errors it may not be bad may just not support the Nvidia chip controlers.
    Up grade Nvidia unified drivers from Nvidia web sit not the one on MSI Nvidia one newer.
    http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp
    Do you have the lattest drivers for sound card I've had them cause lots of problems if driver not compatiable.
    Flash bios to 7.6 if haven't done so yet.

    Hi,
        Your problem is not the same, SiliconMan is trying to connect with a dial-up modem not LAN. Your problem sounds like it may be configuration, do a search on this post, I'm sure you will find people with onboard LAN troubles. It's hard to troubleshoot though since you didn't provide any info about your computer. Good Luck
